I had a lovely birthday brunch on their patio(on a less than ideal birthday). Their staff was attentive, and their menu offers a wide variety of options; if you are vegan, vegetarian, gluten free, or omnivore then you have something to try. They are also substitution friendly, so you may have some low-carb options. The staff brought water for the table immediately, offered recommendations on menu items when asked, and brought a biscuit while the meal was prepared. The patio was pleasant, clean, and ready for guests. -----‐------------------------------------------------------ I visited again, and for this visit, I would remove a star. The food was lovely(and I wrote so on the check) but the waitress with the dark braid seemed to be amused by something and I ended up sitting on the patio for some time waiting for service; I had to call the restaurant to have someone come out with a togo container. The foam container she brought smelled funny(do they have recyclable options?). I still tipped over 20%, but the waitresses this morning seemed to be on a different wavelength.
